LEGENDARYCREATOR'S PROFILE

author=UPRC
I don't think that an RPG Maker itself determines how great a game is. What matters is how competent and skillful the user is.

The older makers are definitely more user friendly and I'll give them immense credit for that. I'll recommend RPG Maker 2000/2003 over the newer engines to a first timer nine times out of ten strictly because they're easier to pick up and learn without having to have much prior knowledge.

Anyone who has fiddled around in any RPG Maker for more than a year or so should really be using XP or VX Ace by now though. Once you have the experience and general knowledge of how the programs work, it's time to advance to one that allows you to accomplish greater feats.
